Reboots to a blue screen

Mac Mini was running really slow. So we reformatted the hard drive and restored the computer using our restore disk and our Time Machine backup. After restoring our system, when it reboots, it reboots to a blue screen. It sits there and sits there. What is going on?

Seems the slow problem may have been something else.
Do you have an earlier Install Disc that came with the Mini?
If so, Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT.

  • N200: rebooting with a blue screen?

    Hi,
    I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 model:0769 Product ID:0769AKU with Windows XP Pro SP2
    Intel centrino DUO
    The machine keeps rebooting with a blue screen that pops up, so I turned off automatic reboot on error
    The error I am getting is

    performing a repair installation may fix your issue.
    how do you perform a reinstallation of windows xp, sometimes called a repair installation?
    configure your computer to start from the cd-rom drive. for more information about how to do this, refer to your computer's documentation or contact your computer manufacturer. then insert your windows xp setup cd, and restart your computer.
    - when the press any key to boot from cd message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the windows xp cd.
    - press enter when you see the message to setup windows xp now, and then press enter displayed on the welcome to setup screen.
    - do not choose the option to press r to use the recovery console.
    - in the windows xp licensing agreement, press f8 to agree to the license agreement.
    - make sure that your current installation of windows xp is selected in the box, and then press r to repair windows xp.
    - follow the instructions on the screen to complete setup.

  • After Software update yesterday, ibook cannot reboot & stay in blue screen.

    After yesterday software update, My ibook restart and got stuck in the blue screen with the spinning spiral icon in the middle of the screen.
    I try to reset the pram and PMU but in vain.
    I also use CRTL-V while rebooting and found the repeating last few lines which the command prompt shown was as follow:

    Anyone can assist, thanks in advance.

    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • (10.6.5) Macbook stuck at reboot/logout/shutdown blue screen

    Hi there,
    I've been googling this for a long time and haven't found anything that solved the issue so here it goes:
    Sometimes, when trying to logout, shutting down or rebooting the system, finder shuts down and a blue screen with a spinning wheel appears where it will stay until I manually hold the power button.
    I'm using an external USB audio interface (M-audio fast track ultra 8r) and a USB apple keyboard with a logitech mouse connected to it.
    I have already tried booting in safe mode, resetting nvram/pram and even praying to the holy spirit.
    I'm open to any suggestions

    Problem solved. I was getting a light blue screen and spinning progress wheel on shutdown about 40% of the time. I thought it was due to the number of applications open or the length of time before shutting down. I called Apple Support today and the rep (who was very good) who walked me through 3 steps.
    1) SMC reset
    2) PRAM reset
    3) Disk Utility -> Disk Verify -> Disk Repair
    Problem that was causing shutdown errors was caused by a partially corrupted disk drive. Remember that the Macbook Air runs a Solid State Drive. Using the Disk Utility, we ran the Drive Repair feature and it found that my drive was partially corrupted and repaired it. Now that the drive has been "repaired", the shutdown issue has gone away.
    I was afraid that I was going to have to reinstall MAC OS....but it was a quick "repair" command and the drive was repaired successfully. Problem solved.

  • IPad ios8 random reboot with blue screen

    Hi everyone,
    I Know this question has been posted already but I'm so frustrated.
    after upgrading to iOS 8 my iPad air started to reboot randomly with blue screen at least 5 to 6 times a day.
    when will apple provide an update fixing this issue? Since it seems more common.
    model: iPad air wifi only
    ios: 8.0.2
    i have tried turning off iCloud sync as many suggested but it didn't help.
    reboots are frequent when I'm using safari.

    Try Barry's suggestion first.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Blue screen after installing labview 8

    I recently installed Labview 8 Professional Dev. Suite on to a Win. XP SP2 system.  The image before installation was stable.  After the installation and reboot, the system blue screens (I have been unable to read the exact message on the blue screen) and reboots.  I was able to boot if I selected "using last know configuration" option in the Windows XP boot options, indicating that the problem is driver/registry related.  After I use the last know configuration, I get an error message "nidevmon.exe - Application Error.  The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142).  Click on OK to terminate the application." 
    I tried to repair all of the installed NI products without any success.
    Device manager shows all devices installed properly without any conflicts.
    Please advise on how I can resolve this installation conflict.
    Thanks.
    --Jeff

    Hi, I am experiencing the same problem.  When my system boots up I receive the "nidevmon.exe could not be initialized" error message.  When I try to manually start the program after startup, I still get the same message.  I am running Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] and have also updated my system with the latest patches.  I have the ni USB-6008 device.  My system is an IBM Thinkpad T40, 1.5Ghz Centrino, with 512MB ram, and 80GB hd.  I have installed labview 7.1 and then NI-DAQmx 8.0 that came with the card.
    Furthermore, the hardware does not succesfully install on my system.  After I install the software, reboot and plug the usb device in, the hardware wizard pops up.  However, in the end, I get "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)".  I suspect this has to do with the nidevmon.exe not initializing.  The ni hardware appears to be fine, I have successfully installed the devices in another system.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the ni-daqmx 8.0 software several times, and even downloaded version 7.5 from the web, however this did not solve the problem either.  I would appreciate any suggestions..
    Thanks,

  • Lightroom 4.1 (3, 4 or any version) causes computer to blue screen and crash

    Recently bought the new Lightroom 4.1 in an attempt to fix this issue, which had been occuring off and on for some time.  I have major difficulties with importing and/or rendering previews or editing Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 5D Mark III images using Lightroom.  The computer abruptly blue screens, then reboots.  The blue screen code is 124.  I'll attach a record of minidumps (all caused by editing or importing images using LR4.)
    Not sure if that can be viewed, but please ask so I can send you the dump file for inspection if necessary.  It essentially shows the Bug Check Code as 0x00000124, caused by address ntoskrnl.exe+4b09bc.

    I have an 850W PSU.  Running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 150GB SSD.
    I find this very frustrating because it's a PC that I built and that can do any complex task--anything from using PS CS4 with multiple layers, playing top-end games like Crysis 2 and Diablo 3 with graphics on full.  Other than this RAW development issue, the computer is flawless and VERY fast.  Anyone have any ideas, or see a hole in the system specs?
    Cheers,
    _E

    The video driver is up to date, and I would assume compliant with LR4.
    My BIOS version is default, and I tried installing new BIOS updates but ran into troubles.  The Asus motherboard uses ATI Catalyst to introduce new system updates, but it fries my PC (assuredly a conflict with my nVidia card) making the rig run even slower.  In fact, using the ATI Catalyst disc (the one that came with my mobo) crashed once I had tried to install any motherboard utilities!  I've gone through the BIOS configuration and turned off all of this mobo's overclocking features and set everything to default.
    No overclocking going on whatsoever--not once, and never will.
    Reseated the memory and tested the memory with no negative feedback.
    The PSU is relatively new and of high quality.  I replaced an old PSU because of exactly what you mentioned above.  It's a Corsair GS800 (not 850W, 800W).
    I'm at the point right now where I suspect the motherboard is failing me somehow.  I only bought it because I was in a rush and would have normally opted fro a "non-overclocking-enthusiast's" board.  Perhaps there's a way of updating BIOS without utilizing the disc (the ATI Catalyst, more to the point?)
    The PC is new in a sense.  I seem to recall a point where LR3 worked with fewer crashes.  I built the thing April 2011.  Just reinstalled Windows 7 and all the software again.

  • Blue Screen Of Death on iPhone plugin: NOT caused by Logitech or HP

    Hi,
    Like many posters who have posted throughout 2009, my Windows XP computer crashes consistently every time I plug in my new iPhone. I am currently totally unable to use iTunes to connect to the iPhone.
    I have spent more than 8 hours trying ALL the causes listed on Apple's website. It is NOT those. I do not have a Logitech Camera or an HP Scanner or anything else listed there. Below you can see a complete list of what I have and what I have tried.
    It is very clear from other posts that Apple's usbaapl.sys driver still has bugs/conflicts that Apple has not yet identified. Let's get to work figuring out what the problem is!
    I would appreciate any suggestions or pointers from other members, but please do review the details below before you post.
    I am technical and would be happy to provide further info or try suggested registry changes, drivers, etc.
    Details:
    Every time I plug in my iPhone 3G, my Windows XP Desktop computer Blue-Screens in the Apple-provided usbaapl.sys driver (which is installed by the iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support installer component) within seconds, whilst Windows Plug and Play is loading the "Apple Mobile Devices" driver. Windows plug-and-play never makes it to the "imaging device" device. It crashes within 0-5 seconds of plugging in the device.
    The same iPhone can successfully work with iTunes on my friend's Windows XP system, so the problem is not with my iPhone; it is with the Apple iTunes software.
    There is some problem with interaction between iTunes on my Windows XP computer and my iPhone.
    I have iTunes 8.2.1.6 with Windows XP sp3.
    I have already tried ALL of the suggestions at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
    In particular
    - I do not have a Logitech camera, either built-in or plug-in.
    - I unplugged AND uninstalled all the drivers for
    - my printer (which is a Canon i560)
    - my scanner (which is Canon CanoScan LIDE 25)
    - my USB hub/card reader (IOGEAR GUH284R)
    - my webcam (Creative Webcam Pro)
    - I actually unplugged ALL USB devices first, including the mouse and the USB hub, rebooted, and it still blue-screens when plugging in the iPhone directly to the computer's USB port.
    - I used to have an HP PrecisionScan Pro, and so I also uninstalled all drivers for all old hardware (not just the HP scanner), and rebooted. Still blue-screens when plugging in the iPhone.
    - I have tried all USB ports of the computer, including directly plugging into them without any USB hub. Still blue-screens.
    - I completely uninstalled iTunes, QuickTime, and Apple Mobile Device Support, rebooted, verified that usbaaap.sys was gone from system32/drivers, then reinstalled iTunes 8.2.1.6 -- still blue-screens
    - When I re-installed iTunes, I had disabled my computer's firewall and anti-virus as an Apple tech had suggested, but this didn't help -- still blue-screens.
    - I also tried the hack, suggested on the internet, of installing Apple Mobile Device Support from iTunes 7.7.1 on top of iTunes/QuickTime version 8.2.1.6. I verified that I was in fact getting a different usbaapl.sys but -- still blue screens.
    - I verified that if I delete the usbaapl.sys driver, plugging in the iPhone does not blue-screen (though of course I cannot use it either). The blue screen of death that appears also contains the word usbaapl.sys. The crash is definitely in that driver. I understand that Apple and Logitech say the "real problem" is in another driver, but as mentioned above, I have eliminated everything on the list in Apple's support suggestion, and I still blue-screen. I even blue-screen with Apple's version 7.7.1 usbaapl.sys driver.
    - I verified that my PC has the latest chipset drivers and USB 2.0 drivers. My PC has a 2.8 GHz P4 processor with an ABIT BD7II-RAID motherboard. It has an Intel 845E chipset with Intel 82801DB (ICH4) I/O USB controller. I have never had any other problems like this with any other USB device on this computer. My problem is unique to iPhone.
    - I saw on the internet that in 2007 there was an iTunes blue-screen crash that resulted if the iPhone had any Photos on it. So I deleted all the photos on my iPhone. Still blue-screens.

    lsemprini wrote:
    Yes, as mentioned in the OP, it says usbaapl.sys on the blue screen, and removing the driver avoids the bluescreen (but of course also prevents the iPhone from working with iTunes). Interestingly, when removing the usbaapl.sys driver, the imaging side of the device actually works with my computer (i.e., I can get the Photos stored, which comes via an alternate driver interface). The problem is REALLY isolated just to the Apple iTunes interlink code in usbaapl.sys.
    I'd like to emphasize and clarify this point a little more as I think it may be the key symptom for separating my problem (and that of other posters, I'd imagine) from the "standard Logitech conflict" problem:
    With the bug I am reporting, I plug in the iPhone, and Windows pops up a plug-and-play bubble for "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver," which is usbaapl.sys (you can verify this with 100% certainty by searching for usbaapl in regedit). The blue screen occurs for me during this phase (sometimes an instant after the bubble pops up)!
    If I disable usbaapl.sys by removing the driver, Windows gets past "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" (happily failing to report any error even though it has not loaded the driver, sigh) and goes on to an "imaging" device (I think it might have said "iPhone camera" or "Imaging Device;" I can check again if it's important), which succeeds to load, and I can access pictures stored on the iPhone using the standard Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard tool, which I think uses the WIA API.
    So my bug differs from the "standard Logitech conflict" in that it has NO relation to whether or not I have Photos on the iPhone, and if I disable the buggy usbaapl.sys driver, I AM able to access photos on the PC.
    In most of the bug reports I saw for the "standard Logitech conflict" problem, users only experienced crashes when the camera had one or more Photos on it, and it appears (though other bug reports are not clear) that the system crashes just after Windows attempts to load the "imaging" driver for the iPhone. My guess is that those users got through "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" with no problem and crashed on the "imaging" driver.
    Can someone at apple please post an engineering bug on this issue?
    That way we can get a list of technical questions from the engineers that need answering so that we can really stomp this bug for good. I can also volunteer to try out debugging versions of the drivers and collect log files, if needed. I am a systems software engr with Windoze experience so I can probably help expedite the debugging process.
    I want to get this fixed and I'm sure many posters do also!

  • OSD Failure - Windows 7 - Blue Screen on First Boot in Full OS

    Hi,
    We are experiencing a really strange problem with our OSD which is hard to pin down. Our setup is SCCM 2012 R2 with 4 PXE enabled DP's (VMWare VMs) across 2 data centers and on seperate hosts and we are delivering Windows 7 (32 and 64) with recaptured WIM
    files. Ouor deployments work fine for around a week and then they suddenly start experiencing a reboot look and blue screening at the first boot into the full OS.
    This occurs on multiple different physical machines and we inject driver packages for different builds with WMI filters on motherboard as is common. The really weird part is that this will work for days then stop working. The only workaround we have is to
    recapture the WIM file (we have a build and capture task sequence for this) and then it works again, even though the content and drivers are exactly the same from the same B+C task sequence. Even the windows updates are the same with no new ones. It doesn't
    seem to be the drivers themselves but rather the process of DISM injecting them offline in windows PE which appears to break the registry. The last thing we see before blue screen is "Updating registry" in windows 7 boot.
    These are the things we have tried are...
     - Recapturing the WIM (works for around a week but not a fixed period)
     - Host the WIM on a physical DP (to rule out VMWare) with only the WIM and a single driver package. Again this worked fine for a week or so.
     - Built several different physical machines. All fine but when this stops, it stops for all of them
     - If we remove all drivers but the LAN driver it can work but our testing has ruled out a specific bad driver as we have used different models of machine and if it was, then it would never work.
     - We have set the TFTP block size to default of 1024 (we had it higher as 8192) to rule out the boot image being corrupted on download. It made no difference other than being a lot slower.
     - Compared MD5 hashes for the WIM to rule out corruption.
     - Removed and redistributed the WIM and drivers to different DP's (that it had never been on before)
    The DISM.log on a failed device shows entries like
    CBS Failed to unload offline registry: {bf1a281b-ad7b-4476-ac95-f47682990ce7}C:/Windows/System32/config/SOFTWARE, the client may still need it open. [HRESULT = 0x80070005 - E_ACCESSDENIED]
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This question on
    Dell's forum sounds very similar.
    What we are really struggling with is why would the same WIM, with the same driver package, from the same distribution point, to the same physical machine, work every day for a week the permanently break? Aaargh!
    Thanks everyone,
    Shaun

  • Notebook with blue screen of death and HP Ceement errors

    Hello, I am using:
    Product name: HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC
    Product number: QE310UA#ABA
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    I have been having a few message/errors lately and suspect they are related
    1) The "blue screen of death" has shut down operations a few times now, that I have seen. When it reboots, all my passwords are gone, all new log ins are required. I know it's been happening more than I see because my passwords will dissapear while I am away from my laptop and I had not seen it.
    2) Error message "HP CEEment has stopped working, windows is looking for a solution to solve this problem", comes up a lot. Daily, usually twice at a time. I googled this and a few "answers" said to look at your firewall and to "allow" HP Ceement. I called Norton and they showed me that it is allowed, so they are not the issue and to contact HP, hence why I am here.
    3) Not sure if this last one is part of the issue, but it has come up more than once lately. Error "Your current settings do not allow file to be downloaded". I ssupect when the computer reboots after the blue screen the security is automatically heightened and that is why I got this, as well as loose passwords and a couple other "secruity level" type problems.
    Thanks for the help, Amy

    It might be that the CEEment program is not the direct cause of the problem, that is, the issue might be symptomatic of the underlying problems -- it may be part of the train wreck, so-to-speak.
    In any case, while the system is up and running you can try the following to fix the issue or to at least try to eliminate the CEEment program from the mix.
    Download Install a new copy of the latest version of the HP Support Assistant on your system:
    HP Support Assistant
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
    Reboot the system
    If you like, you can switch OFF the CEEment program and the other checks that HP Support Assistant performs on your system.
    Example (HP Support Assistant Version 7.4.45.4)
    Open the HP Support Assistant > Settings >
    Scroll down to Warranty and Services >
    Next to Check warranty now >>
    CHECK No, I do not want to send this data >
    Scroll down to Would you like to share anonymous usage data with HP? >
    CHECK No >
    Under Welcome Screen (if necessary) >>
    UNCHECK Show a welcome screen when I open HP Support Assistant >
    Click Save

    You may want to create an extra / new account with administrator privileges on the computer in case the issue is related in some way to your account.
    You do want to make sure you have your personal data backed up -- make an extra effort to make sure your critical data is backed up somewhere other than on the computer.  Make a copy of those files to a USB drive or to the Cloud.  Make sure you include your bookmarks.

  • Blue screen hangs logging in as main user (tried extensive troubleshooting)

    My systems state has been progressively declining...
    First symptoms: while using my external FW drive, under heavy read/write use the drive would unexpectedly unmount, giving the "unmount your drive before disconnecting it to avoid data loss" message.
    I ran DiskWarrior on the external drive. It still would unmount. Somewhere online I read that zapping the PRAM may fix it. I did that. That's when things got bad.
    My computer began beachballing all over the place, so I rebooted. Full disclosure: it's been running slow sometimes due to the SOHO Sync process (I am running the SOHO Notes 5.7.0 beta, and I haven't ruled out this software as the culprit). Upon reboot, it would hang on a blank blue (aqua) screen - after the gray screen but before the login window or anything.
    I booted into single-user mode and ran fsck. It found nothing wrong.
    Tried to boot into Safe mode extensively. Sometimes I could get to the login screen. Tried extensively logging in as my user, it would just hang on a blue screen. The secondary user works, although sometimes verrrry slow (beachballs).
    I began following the instructions in this article. Many of the first solutions (#'s 1-3) involve Safe mode, but since my account couldn't get into Safe mode I began moving Preference files and such using single-user mode (#'s 4-6). On step 7, I got through items a-m, but the rest of it is contingent upon being able to log in, which I still was not.
    Using the secondary login, I was able to open Console and glean some information from that. mdimportserver was crashing over and over again, sometimes causing crashdump to crash as well. I figured this explained the slow performance and intermittent beachballing while using the secondary user. lsregister was also crashing occasionaly. In system.log, I saw several I/O errors.
    Finally I decided to run DiskWarrior from the CD. It found some errors (I can post the report later) and corrected them. I rebooted, still would blue screen on my login name.
    I reset the PMU. After this the secondary user ran pretty much normally for a short time. I removed the couple third-party mdimport files (Spotlight plugins) I could using the list dump from running mdimportserver -L and renaming the third party ones. (I know SOHO Notes includes Spotlight support now, but I could not find their plugin for the life of me, I'm not sure how they have enabled Spotlight support).
    Still getting I/O errors in system.log. The secondary user is not working very well anymore (slower w/ beachballs).
    This whole time the SMART status of my boot drive has been "Verified"
    So - is my drive dead?
    PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz (12) Mac OS X (10.4.2)

    Update:
    Using the secondary user in Safe Mode has allowed functionality enough to reformat an external drive with Disk Utility (although the drive spun down and Disk Utility didn't do anything while still saying 7 minutes left on the zero-all operation).
    I force quit Disk Utility and reboot into Safe Mode. Got the startup progress bar, then the blue screen, then the screen went to a black with white lettering saying:
    <time & host name> getty: /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
    Then it would go back to aqua blue for a few moments, then back to this.

  • XP computer crashes when Firefox is open, then blames nVidia, but no blue screen appears.

    XP Service Pack 3, with all updates
    Firefox multiple versions, currently 15
    nVidia 6200 with multiple versions of drivers
    Deep Scan using Vipre with current updates, found no viruses.
    Computer reboots unexpectedly, no blue screen, but on recovery, Windows reports there was a blue screen and nVidia caused it. However, without Firefox open, I've had no crashes. Sometimes Firefox can be open, but then crashes when one of several new tabs (sites) are opened, but cannot identify what site might be causing it.

    Are you experiencing this issue with another browser? Can you update to the newest version at http://getfirefox.com ?
    Also you may have a virus -
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
